Page 13 - The Origin of Birds and Flight

No rational, logical person can believe that an airplane assem-
bled itself of its own accord. These components did not combine
by chance to produce a vehicle capable of flight. On the con-
trary, the design of a plane reveals very detailed calculations
at every stage of its manufacture. Many scientists and engineers
have used their knowledge and experience and expended a great
deal of time and effort. Birds, however, have been equipped
with far superior aerodynamic characteristics. To examine birds,
created with the ability to fly, and then claim that they came
into being by chance, defies all reason and logic. The position
of those who make such claims is revealed in the verse: “And
they repudiated them wrongly and haughtily, in spite of their
own certainty about them...” (Surat al-Naml, 14).
